Functional scoping & business analysis
Formalise the need, structure the requirements and carry the business voice through the project — right up to the acceptance of deliverables.
EN UNE PHRASE
The cost of a badly written requirement is paid at design time.
THE PROBLEM
The situations that bring us in
- 01
The need is expressed in solutions, not in objectives and business rules.
- 02
Requirements are scattered across minutes and emails.
- 03
Gaps between expected and delivered surface at acceptance, too late to absorb.
- 04
No repository makes it possible to say whether a deliverable meets the original need.
- 01THE PROBLEM
A project launched on a partial statement of need, where each party reads the perimeter differently.
- 02WHAT AXENEO DOES
We run the business workshops, map the target processes, structure the requirements in a traced repository and assess the choice of solution.
- 03THE RESULT
A requirements repository that stands up to scrutiny, a stable perimeter and acceptance criteria defined before work begins.
What we do
Scoping & stating the need
- Business workshops and analysis of the existing processes
- Target processes and management rules
- Repository of functional and non-functional requirements
- Traceability matrix from need to requirement to test
- Perimeter, assumptions, exclusions and prerequisites
Solution selection & support
- Evaluation grid and solution scenarios
- Drafting of the specification and of the tender file
- Analysis of responses, presentations and recommendation
- Oversight of the design and arbitration of the gaps
- Functional acceptance testing and validation of deliverables
The IT Strategy & Advisory method
This domain sits within the pillar’s overall method.
- 01
Understand
Interviews with the business and with IT, review of the application estate, analysis of processes and of what actually irritates people. We start from what happens, not from what is documented.
- 02
Make it objective
Gaps, dependencies, costs, risks. Scenarios are worked through with their organisational implications, not only the technical ones.
- 03
Decide
Options are put to decision-makers with what they really imply. A decision that has not been taken is identified as such and raised to the level where it can be.
- 04
Sequence
A trajectory in waves, with verifiable milestones, explicit prerequisites and a workload compatible with what the teams can actually absorb.
- 05
Steer
Governance, bodies and indicators put in place. The setup is designed to be sustainable by the teams once we have gone.
USE CASES
Where we step in
Go to market on a comparable basis
A specification built on traced requirements makes it possible to assess the responses on substance.
Carry the business side of a technically led project
Keep the business intent and the implementation consistent, arbitrate the gaps and avoid decisions taken by default.

Functional scoping & business analysis: let’s talk about your context
A first conversation is usually enough to tell whether the subject calls for scoping, a portfolio decision, or putting the steering back in order. We will tell you plainly.
